Intro

Our community is preparing for the release of LibreOffice 5.2.0. We've added many new features and fixed loads of bugs (see below...), and we want to make sure that the new version is well tested. You can help to make this release a great one! Be aware however that the translation for this version may not be over and is not yet integrated.

On June 24th we will have an international bug-hunting session, testing the RC1 of LibreOffice 5.2.0 Please join us! :-)

When: June 24th

Feel free to join us at any point during these three days.

#Mentors will be available from 07:00 UTC to 20:00 UTC on those dates.

If you can't join us during this session, you're always welcome to help us hunt for bugs on other days. The builds of this particular RC (LibreOffice 5.2.0. RC1) will be available until end of June ;-)

What to test

We aim at:

Doing as much testing on the 5.2.0 as possible

Triaging all already filed issues for this version, so that it's as clear as possible for the developers to step in!

There are always more ways to test: do your regular tasks, structured tests, or playing with the new features..

Choose what suits best for you :-) All testing is great and important, and the more we are, the more chance we have to hunt a bug!

pick a component and check for bugs that were fixed in this release: xx

Soon we will give some useful queries at this place, what will lead you to bugs that need some checking: xx

Things that underwent major refactorings between 5.1 -> 5.2:

Dedicated sessions

You want to participate for a short period of time or only on a dedicated module or only on a list of features , join us for this dedicated session that will happen between 15:00 and 17:00h UTC on Friday.

During the dedicated sessions, we will try to concentrate all our efforts together on one module, that will ease the reproduction, bring more fun to work together and at the end, we will have bugs confirmed or filled in a more complete manner.

Found a bug?

At first, make sure it isn't already reported by searching in our bug database. If it isn't reported yet, you can add it to our bug database using our [1], which is a guided form to report bugs. If you are more confident with Bugzilla, you can report your bug using the Bugzilla interface. When you want to discuss first, use chat or mail, fast and direct.
